When I got back from our quick trip to Idaho, I had some money left over. I'd used the credit card for gas and food but took some cash just in case I needed it. I decided to tuck it away in a safe place so it would be there if I needed it in the future...if I'd just kept it in my purse, it would be gone in no time. Well, it's not going to be used up any time soon because I CAN'T FIND IT! I've looked all the places I would expect to stash money and it's no where to be found. One of these days I'm going to have a really nice surprose but, in the meantime, I WANT TO SPEND MY MONEY!

Oh no, I sure hope you find it in time for Vegas, that would be cool. I did that with my little pocket book where I keep credit cards that I rarely use, I can't find it either....for 1 year now. Gabby

Geez, I'm getting really bad at that, too, Kat. Usually it's keys or my bus pass. I really try to ritually put things away in the same place, but for money like your situation, I don't know. I probably would have used the sock drawer. What about a book? Once I stashed money for DD in a book. I just had to remember which one! LOL!

Maybe if you just forget about it (or try to) it will just show up in the normal course of things. Hope you find it.

Another reason to love this place...we are all literally in the same boat! Yesterday I couldn't remember anything I had just done or said for 2 seconds! Hate that! And I don't dare hide anything! I would NEVER find it. But Red is probably right...once you stop thinking about and looking for the money it will turn up.

Have a good week Kat! Hugs

Kat, I do that too. I think it's a good place and then forget it. I've done that with Christmas gifts. I must get a container for such things. BIG HUGS. ..Free

Kat I have done that before too... it took me about 3 years to find that money I had tucked away for the rent. When we found it we felt so great but when we had lost it we were none too happy! Don't you just love/hate those real safe places... so safe even you can't get to them.

Hope you find it soon!

Hugs, Lor
